If he kills his enemy at all, he's already won, and is in no danger - going furthur than that is quite literally overkill. And that's besides the fact that he doesn't want to distress Lady Teldra by making her do something so unnecessary & impolite. That may be a factor which drives Sethra, Aliera & Morrolan not using the soulkilling option as well. Simply killing their enemies may be sufficient; destroying their souls *as well* is... excessive, even for Dragons in the heat of rage.
